Thread: Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] New installer problem

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I did Beta 4 test back on the 27th of Feb. 2010. I did not have this letter
by then so I did import a user. I did not see any issues importing. Be
advised that I also did not select anything to be reset within that user's
settings.

Installation was smooth here. We did lose some other things, but seeing that
this was an experimental iso that Vec wanted to internally test on, I'm sure
those things were skipped over for the purpose.
